Mounting
Direct Mounting
Notes:
• To ensure the most ideal location, test the SITRANS AS 100 by clamping the
Sensor to the application, and running a trial period to determine the system's
performance. The acoustic emission level can be monitored by a voltmeter
across the analog output. Refer to Interconnection on page
• 9.
• Coating the contact surfaces with grease enhances the propagation of
acoustic emissions to the Sensor.
